Tips from the Community
This artificial lake was created by damming the Turritecava stream in the late 1930s. Its protected location makes it an excellent refuge for birds. Canyoning is possible nearby on the Rio Selvano, a tributary of the Turritecava.

The town owes its origins to the late Middle Ages settlement of a colony of blacksmiths from Bergamo, later joined by families from the surrounding area. At the time of Italian unification, the town had approximately 2,000 inhabitants, but today, due to progressive depopulation, it numbers just under 500, including the hamlets. The customs bridge, marking the border between the Duchy of Modena and the Republic of Lucca, was also located here.

A very beautiful bridge over the Lima River in Fornoli. For pedestrians and cyclists only. The best way to cross the river to the quieter side.

% But - according to legend - once the bridge was completed, the man devised a clever trick to deceive the devil: he made a cat cross the bridge in his place. Thus the devil had to go away mocked.

The Lima, or rather “La Lima”, as the valley dwellers affectionately call their river, originates in the Sestaione valley. The Lima is fed by a complex network of tributary streams in the highlands, which bring snow, spring and rain water. In its course towards the sea, just after crossing the town of Bagni di Lucca Terme, the watercourse up to that point, of a torrential type, also given the conditions of the terrain, calms down and widens flowing into the Serchio, another river that originates in the Apennines, crosses and characterizes the life and environment of the nearby Garfagnana, a small and green historical-geographical region and a large part of the entire province of Lucca.

The territory of Vergemoli is marked by the presence of rivers, in particular the Turrite, which has provided energy for all human activities since the early twentieth century. Here nature works in harmony with man, leaving room for professions now in danger of extinction.
